abstract="Following the bite by Rhabdophis subminatus, preliminary studies were instituted on its venom to determine the mechanism of the clinical poisoning. A method for milking these snakes is presented. The i.v. LD50 in mice was 1.29 mg/kg. Three peaks were obtained on Sephadex G-100 and although none were lethal by themselves, a combination of two of the peaks produced immediate death in mice. The venom had no phosphodiesterase, fibrinolytic or thrombin-like activities, but it did have some phospholipase activity. Further biochemical and pharmacological studies are in progress.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
